Herbal medicine Yinchenhaotang protects against α-naphthylisothiocyanate-induced cholestasis in rats
Abstract Cholestasis is a clinical disorder defined as an impairment of bile flow, and that leads to toxic bile acid (BA) accumulation in hepatocytes. Here, we investigated the hepatoprotective effect of Yinchenhaotang (YCHT), a well-known formulae for the treatment of jaundice and liver disorders,...
